QB John Skelton has been released from the Cardinals. What would you guys think about bringing him in instead of Kellen Moore as #3 on the depth chart. He's started a number of guys for the Cardinals (and won a couple) and at one point was penciled in as the surefire starter. He brings some size and a good arm along wthi his experience. In the event that Stafford goes down (knock on wood), I do think he'd be a good option to have.

However it seems our staff likes guys that are safe and won't lose a game as a backup rather than a guy who can lose a game or win a game.

What happens if Stafford goes down for a lengthy period of time? I like Sean Hill a lot but he may not be long term answer at backup due to age/salary. Why change our offense solely because our main guy goes down? We need that explosive, deep ball element to our game. If it's a short stint, I get the whole playing it safe thing but if we have to play that way for most of a season we're going to be in a bad situation.

Skeltons terrible and really doesn't have a future in this league. What do we KNOW about Moore? Does he management games well? Can he make plays when called upon? Idk any of these so I rather keep Moore and figure him out before I move on to Skelton who I know is nothing more than possibly a career backup. An not even a good one.

He's started and won games on a bad Arizona team. Much more than we can say for Moore.

I don't think there's any reason to pay any more than we have to for a third string QB who absolutely positively will not see the field under any non-emergency circumstance. It'd be one thing if Moore were our 2nd QB, but he's not. Hill is just fine as a backup and Moore is just fine for running the scout team. Why pay an extra $235,000 (and inevitably a signing bonus of some sort) just to have another butt on the bench?

I'd prefer anyone over Moore. Heck I'd prefer to carry two QB and add someone else who will contribute.

Extra waterboy would do more.

There are very few teams in the league that carry only two quarterbacks. They're not just for emergency purposes, but they run the scout team in practice too. I think the Chargers might be the only team in the league that has two quarterbacks at the moment.

Very few run wide 9 too.

Sorry I simply don't see need for a 3rd QB when said QB honestly is as bad as Moore_________________

Yeah, I really am not a fan of the guy. I was scratching my head when we brought him in.
